Funny you should say that word "Victorian": The Mexican War Streets is a Victorian neighborhood. The term "Victorian", however, does not refer to a specific architectural style, but instead to the era of Queen Victoria's reign (from 1837 to 1901). During that time, many different architectural styles were popular. These "Victorian" styles included the Greek Revival (ca. 1825-1860); the Italianate (ca. 1860-1885) and its contemporary, the French Second Empire (ca. 1855-1885); and Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne (ca. 1880-1900), which were superseded by the Classical Revival at the turn of the century. :)
